North East Action for Rivers (NE4R)

This initiative focuses on clean-up activities on the beach, on the water, on mudflats and on rocks.

It involves on-land litter picks alongside volunteers help to clean up the rivers using a Water Witch boat; using a specialist services hovercraft to clean up mudflat areas, and on rocks where there are rock armour or rocky areas that are typically difficult to clean up.

All plastic collected is repurposed and reprocessed, supporting the circular economy.

It’s delivered in partnership with marine safety partners Swiftwater Solutions with support from local landowners Sunderland Enterprise Park, and Climate Action North corporate sponsor Arktek Group Limited.

The initiative won Innovation of the Year Award in the VentureFest North East Innovation Awards in 2021.

There are opportunities through this initiative to install advertising banners on the boats and floating platforms we use as part of the NE4R initiative, to help raise awareness of sponsors.
